Tsunami's 1st Adventure:
The escape with the blue Octopus...

Meet our hero Tsunami in the middle of the dense woods surveying the land in search of the ever allusive blue octopus. He surveys the land efficiently through his keen sense of sight and smell. He knows that once he finds this special creature, he must keep it hidden. For he is not alone in the woods. There are children lurking, waiting to steal his treasure.

After much searching, and many miles traveled, Tsunami has caught the blue octopus. But his journey is not over. He must find a safe spot to keep this treasure. The children have spotted him and are in pursuit to take his treasure.
He looks around to find the best spot...







Thinking to himself...NO that way is no good, it's to easy to find.










And then he thinks he has found the spot...










He checks his steps to make sure that the trail can not be followed. But he picks up a scent of trouble lurking. He thinks he has found a trap. He moves in closer to investigate.
He looks up and says to himself..."Those kids must have planted a tracking device or something here." Just then he realizes that he has left the blue octopus out of sight and let his guard down.
The kids had stolen his treasure. Now he must hunt and search for the children and his special treasure.
He searches far and wide and travels dangerous paths.


He uses his balance skills to check from the high spots, in search of the children.












Tsunami has picked up the scent and takes off. He sees one of the evil doers in his sights and takes off after them. "I will eat you alive when I catch you...okay maybe not eat you alive but definitely slobber you with kisses when I catch you", he says out loud.




He finally catches up to one of the children, but soon finds that this is not the culprit. He politely apologizes and turns to search in another direction.









He travels for miles, but there isn't a child in sight. He has failed. How could he have let the precious blue octopus out of his site? How could he have fallen for the children's ploys? He decides to retrace his steps and go back to where his journey began. Maybe he can pick up a new scent. Maybe he will have to search for another blue octopus...though they are rare.

Tsunami makes it back to the original spot where he found the blue octopus. But there is nothing there. He stares off deep into the forest hoping to catch a glimpse or a scent to search. Tsunami couldn't find anything. There was no trace of the children, no trace of the blue octopus. Dejected and sad, he made his way back to his owner. They traveled through the forest together and returned to their home.
Now you may think that our story has ended and that there was no happy ending...but you would be wrong. To Tsunami's suprise, the children were not out to steal from him, they weren't evil. They had safely returned the blue octopus to the house where Tsunami lives! They didn't want him to loose it. They were looking out for him. Hooray, Tsunami's heart sank, he felt terrible for thinking such bad things about the children. He should have known that they were kind hearted.
So Tsunami and the children laughed and played the rest of the day, and enjoyed the blue octopus.
